Could this, the third Zelda and only the second in this overhead style, be the best Zelda game of all time? It's certainly in the conversation, with its perfectly designed world, great dungeons, terrific items, simply told story, well-balanced gameplay/challenge and lovely aesthetics (the main Dark World theme in particular remains one of my favorite VGM tracks of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sslj06K-Nlw ). Worth playing through in one long sitting!

Hot tip for this game and basically every game where you name your character. Type in "I'm gay" you'll thank me later after you recover from dying of laughter. Ho ho ho

I dig LttP's combat since there's a neat positional challenge in how attacks changes the position of both you and the enemy, not to mention the interesting tradeoffs in items. There's also a lot of cool stuff to find in the overworld and for as rote as it is I do like the novelty of SNES era JRPG towns with more action game controls. LttP isn't consistently great, the puzzles mostly suck and there are some bullshit parts like the caterpiller boss, but this is possibly the best Zelda.

The original Legend of Zelda may have had some fairly big, sprawling maps and secrets to explore back on the NES. What it did not have is this level of intricacy in how it fits to together. And, honestly, it wasn't this approachable, either. There's a certain art to gently guiding you along in a game with this much room for wandering and so many techniques to pick up along the way, and Nintendo set a strong example in how to do it.

I like the world and the item variety, but find myself not having the patience these days for the necessary amount of blind exploration and trial and error. Great soundtrack.
